Advance sales for Riot Act/Kaine – FIRE DOWN UNDER – England Tour 2023 so far:

We’ve been working hard to push the FIRE DOWN UNDER tour with Riot Act. We are in effect the promoters of these events, so it’s on us to make these shows a success. We’ve booked venues we know are good in areas we know we can usually get decent crowds. Riot Act is coming from New York to do this tour, and we’re hoping to sell out all these shows for them when they are over. We’ve priced the advance tickets at just £8 to make it as affordable as possible. If you are yet to buy a ticket, you can do it from here: https://www.firedownundertour.co.uk/category/tour-tickets

Last weeks rehearsal sessions.

Today we are having our second rehearsal following our successful tour with Chris Holmes. Last week (as seen above) we focused on rehearsing the songs we didn’t do on the tour and writing new material for a future release.

Today we head back into Unit One again for more rehearsals, we’ll be working on our set for Mearfest Flame in Nuneaton in September, and then our second tour of 2023 with Riot Act, who will be playing the entire Riot classic album Fire Down Under in full during the tour.

Tickets fore the Fire Down Under Tour are already selling well, with London already 20% sold months in advance of the show. If you wish to attend these shows, we advise you to book well in advance from here. Our last show at Three Wise Monkeys for example sold out in advance, and there were people who could not get into the venue on the night.

Our last sessions a few weeks back

We have a big year coming up with several important shows to prepare for. Rehearsals as ever will be taking place tonight at Unit One, Colchester.

The first of these is supporting current Whitesnake guitarist Joel Hoekstra, and Brandon Gibbs at The Music Room, Ipswich on April 15th. Joel Hoekstra is best known as the guitarist for “Whitesnake” and “Trans-Siberian Orchestra” along with a long list of other bands and projects he has worked with including Cher and Night Ranger. With impeccable guitar soloing and blazing riffs, Joel Hoekstra is without a doubt a guitar legend and one of the top guitarists in the world. Brandon Gibbs is not only the frontman for the supergroup “Devil City Angels” but also joined Poison in 2022 on the Def Leppard/Motley Crue Stadium Tour utilizing his searing voice on backup vocals. Brandon Gibbs is also known for his blues/rock style of guitar playing and his riveting song writing.

On May 19th we celebrate 5 years of Kaine in its current form coming together at Three Wise Monkeys, Colchester alongside our friends in Osmium Guillotine, Draugrheim, and Killerkorp. This gig will be recorded for a live album/video.

Finally, as announced, we’ll be touring again in June, this time in support of the legendary W.A.S.P Guitarist Chris Holmes.  We’ll be playing several dates across Wales, Scotland, and England as seen below.

Kaine interviewed by Metal Talk for Burr Fest this Saturday

6 Mar 2020 — 1 Comment
The event is now sold out.

Kaine were recently interviewed for Burr Fest by Metal Talk which can be read by clicking the links below. Burr Fest takes place this Saturday from a sold out Dome in Tufnell Park, London.

“It’s definitely been a period of rebirth and revival for the band with Liam, Toby and Isaac coming in and then writing and recording ‘Reforge The Steel’. It’s a cliché but this is very much a new band, but equally because of the calibre of the previous line-ups we’ve also still got a lot to prove to people and people to win back who may have written us off. “
